First day of preschool

Today was Paige's first day of preschool. She will attend Tuesday and Thursday afternoons; and Friday mornings. She and Kyler were at daycare this am and super excited. I was to meet them at preschool; and there were some excited little people. Paige posed for me outside and took off for the door behind Kim and Kyler. Then. . .she sort of froze and reached for me with tears. A complete 180 in emotions--I know she's my daughter! She had a few hugs and a few tears; and then Kyler took her hand and they headed off to the main room. I took that as my cue to leave. Upon pickup, I hear she was sad for a whole 5 seconds and was then fine. It sure took Mom longer than 5 minutes as I had to stop at my mother-in-laws for Kleenex to wipe my sobbing face before taking Cooper to his doctor's appointment. Bless Jane for understanding and not giggling in front of me. I picked Paige up and there were 8 excited little people who had a great afternoon ready to be picked up. She had a wonderful time and chattered about the things they did. She exclaimed, "Mom, I made new friends!" I asked what their names were and she told me she couldn't remember. The good news is she wants to go back. Paige, Kyler, Kim and I celebrated with ice cream at Eats-n'treats afterwards before heading home. I have a tired little girl tonight.

On the Cooper front, his 2 week appointment went well and he's perfect. Dr. Jacobson poked and checked every crevice and said he's a keeper. We think so. He weighed in at 8lbs 11 oz--so a gain of 1 pound 1 ounce since we left the hospital. I have a good eater!
